More on the toddler who died at daycare

[Sandbox Sally]

Judy, that's a good point re: there still being unlicensed daycares, but they would be illegal. I understand your point regarding drugs, etc, but I think parents would be able to ask that magical question, "are you licensed?" and it might deter people from using the illegal ones more. Or something. I am not articulating eloquently what I am thinking. But, I think most of my irritation and reasoning is that I want to be able to have the option (at least) to be licensed. I want parents to know that I am following the rules and I have nothing to hide. Every news article seems to equate unlicensed with illegal, and I'd like to set that straight by making the public understand that we are not operating subversively, but are in fact, true legitimate nurturing thriving daycares.
